LD43 — Sacrifices must be made (29)
Olympus is Falling by Charging-Llama 2018-12-24T01:48:26Z ♥ 0
Pretty little game. I like the graphics and music. Gameplay could be more challenging though. At least, god exhaustion could be quicker, as it was easy to win from the very first attempt. Honestly, I expected there'd come some enemies to deal with, as there are so many weapons around :)
Congrats on coming back to LD :)
Labrats by Matank 2018-12-24T01:25:46Z ♥ 1
Very cool game! Nice and polished puzzle, with multiple levels, learning curve and even some story behind (which also works well as tutorial during few first levels). As of the last level, I'm not sure if time pressure is a good thing here, and it definitely shifts priorities — for example, I immediately chose a sacrifice, once I figure out that'd be enough to complete the level.
Ethical Smoothies Co. by kypello 2018-12-24T00:46:25Z ♥ 1
Oh, that's fun! Simple mechanics with a lot of management and time-pressured decisions. Very creative concept. Graphics, sounds and theme fit well. Can only suggest to add price labels for ingredients and orders (to prioritize effectively) and some kinda tutorial (as it took few rereads to figure out what to do). Great game!
They are coming. by mosaic 2018-12-24T00:15:41Z ♥ 0
I like the idea and atmosphere of the game. Blurry graphics and sound also fits well. I would say, it's kinda tower defence without towers :)
As others mentioned, after you figure out how the mechanics works, it's rather too easy to win, however objectives are not very clear. Probably, if you improve balance (larger knights are OP on early stages) and maybe just add a well-defined spots (with own HP status) to defend from zombies, it'd become an obvious strategy to barrier these spots.
TOTEMINI by frescogusto 2018-12-11T10:17:24Z ♥ 1
Very attractive artwork and nice melody! Gameplay probably lacks some engagement, though. Maybe, some additions to the base mechanics would be enough. For example, you could allow to carry more than one creature at a time (somehow juggling with them). It might feel less repetitive (as player would try to bring "complete order" at once), as well as add some challenges on the way back.
DBK - A Band Story by Sebastian-M 2018-12-11T09:57:31Z ♥ 1
Very artistic entry — stylish graphics, amazing music and there's a story! The only thing I didn't get, is the relation to a theme. Probably, boxes [to be moved out] could also have some meaning, like stuff, that you should move away to actually succeed in your career… Anyways, there's definitely some potential in this game, great job!
Disorder by MaxKlimenok 2018-12-11T09:21:20Z ♥ 2
Very cool concept and nice graphics! It seems, there are still few bugs, but don't fire your developers — they did a great job :)
Don’t eat CHICKEN ! by Kasaki 2018-12-11T08:50:18Z ♥ 0
I like the idea of this innovative TD. Funny graphics, sadly no music. High five on first LD! :)
Blue Sacrifice by aortega 2018-12-11T08:38:27Z ♥ 2
Very cute and positive! Probably, it would be a little easier to direct Big Blue if there was a little higher point of view. Also, I assume, camera is locked on purpose? It might be good maybe to add a quick turn-around action (right-click?), to get to know, where the bombs are running from…
Anyways, great graphics and sounds. Good game!
You Get Two by justalocalhero 2018-12-10T02:13:25Z ♥ 1
Brilliant interpretation of theme! Concept, music and artwork bring together very good metaphor of life. Really simple, but enjoyable gameplay.
As others noted, some hints on what icons mean would be great. As there is definitely some room for story telling, it might work as journal quotes [of choices made], like "Today I didn't go to the party, and ate a bucket of ice cream alone. Now, calories my true friends!"
Air Rider by Hawkie 2018-12-09T22:04:26Z ♥ 1
That's fun! Firstly, I didn't realize there's more than just sacrificing passengers. (Probably, you could add a controls cheat-sheet somewhere on the playing screen to minimize that.) But after checking Controls and Hints I realized, there's a lot more in the game.
So, great game, nice mechanics and awesome music! And separately, nice job on making it with typescript. (I hope, it didn't slow you down much.)
Click to Sacrifice by rhewid 2018-12-09T21:30:23Z ♥ 1
Probably need some balance and sound, but good game overall. And I like the graphics!
Bye¡Buddy! by Lenny92 2018-12-09T21:15:12Z ♥ 1
Very cool concept and good execution. I like the puzzle part and smooth gameplay. Also, it would be interesting to see if some bouncing can be used with these mechanics. Anyways, good game!
Mystic Shepherd by kromeboy 2018-12-09T21:00:08Z ♥ 1
Nice idea and funny graphics! Probably I understand why shepherd goes slowly, but it feels boring after a while. I would suggest to add some mechanics on catching far distant sheep. So even if I go from temple to temple, I would need to pass specific points to make sure my herd is grouped together.
God of Fingers (HTML5) by Dining Philosopher 2018-12-09T20:46:13Z ♥ 1
Funny idea and good work! I didn't get at first that you actually don't need to kill just everyone :) And I like how spells are filled in random positions, so you always need to double-check where and what to use. Unfortunately, I use Chrome, and didn't have any sounds.
Missing Parts by radow 2018-12-09T20:29:24Z ♥ 3
That's awesome! Idea, graphics, sound and puzzle itself are all made so good, that I forgot it's just a jam entry, not a published game from store :)
The Sunday Massacre by Ziamor 2018-12-08T22:08:40Z ♥ 0
Cool concept and fun gameplay! Also enjoyed graphics and music. Probably, year/level change and game over are two fast. And also, sometimes "demon vision" is stuck switched on, feeling it kinda cheating :)
Bummed OUT! by boyTurnedRobot 2018-12-08T21:44:33Z ♥ 1
I really like this retro style graphics, and music compliments it very much! There was a problem as a viewport was slightly larger, than my screen (cutting maybe 5% of image), but when I reloaded the page and immediately clicked "full screen" button, everything was fine. Nevertheless, great game!
Ossium by JammedGame 2018-12-06T22:06:29Z ♥ 3
I'm not very much into platformers, but this one is good. Different mechanics and upgrades definitely vary gameplay and tie nicely with theme and overall mood. Probably my only suggestion is to make a longer music composition (i.e. looping piece) — it sounds good, but after two-three minutes of play it feels very much repetitive to me :)
Sacrifice Them by velvetlobster 2018-12-06T01:59:11Z ♥ 0
I don't know what I'm doing, but I like it! 8)
I mean, the goal is not very clear… but the graphics, animations, music and especially metaphor of the game are very well bound and developed as a piece of art. Great job and good luck!
What We Hold In Our Hearts by mgoadric 2018-12-06T01:31:47Z ♥ 1
Very atmospheric and great story telling! Probably the run could be a bit more interactive, but when that gang comes closer, it becomes really dramatic. The best mood I've seen so far. Good luck!
Grim Future - Rogue Merchant by Luc Magitem 2018-12-06T01:09:08Z ♥ 1
Thanks for sharing and not just giving it up!
Party Card Game by red 2018-12-06T01:06:02Z ♥ 3
So, it's basically rock-paper-scissors on steroids? Very nice! Good graphics, and funny characters.
Initially, I didn't see the rules button (at the bottom corner), probably a simple cheat-sheet could be drawn just on the board. Another point might be on gaining something at the end of level… As starting with just two cards versus five is a little frustrating. Probably, I'd suggest either a shop or resurrection ability — just to be able to get few cards for the next level.
Hello operator. by cowa 2018-12-06T00:38:33Z ♥ 1
Cool story! Nice graphics and pretty dramatic gameplay. As for music… Probably you could give us just a link to some youtube video, so I just turn it on next time I play 😄 As for LD game this one looks pretty good and polished. Great job!
The Treachery by Tosunami 2018-12-06T00:23:44Z ♥ 2
Very creative, especially boss fightings are the most fun! Neat graphics and sound makes the mood. Good luck!
Sacrificial Shot by PurpoAppo 2018-12-05T23:57:45Z ♥ 1
It's fun! Interesting, how this concept affects rate of fire. And I would definitely need a knife to keep ammo/health 😏 Great job!
Viking Snow Fight by Trevor Hayes 2018-12-04T21:11:50Z ♥ 3
Fun game! Attractive graphics and music. And that horn! :D Does it mean a sacrifice in return of snow gun?)
BOBA by BMOPAPA 2018-12-04T07:20:30Z ♥ 1
Cool idea and funny graphics! Couldn't hear any sound though — is there any?
Wasn't sure at first on the objective, so some feedback before switching level would be nice.
Good luck!
